Information – Seniors

H.S. Senior | Tween Sessions

I can guarantee that your experience is going to be fun. Its important to me to take the time to really get to know a bit about who you are before we go out for your session. Meeting beforehand and getting to know one another and creating a plan together will help you feel more at ease and look your best for your shoot. Do you have a favorite hangout spot, a hobby or sport that you want incorporated into your session? I will help you from the initial phone call through to hanging that awesome metal print on your wall!

The $275 Session fee is required at time of booking to hold your date on my calendar. Senior sessions typically include 2-3 locations, multiple wardrobe changes captured over 2-2.5 hours. A Gallery viewing/order session appointment will be held approximately 2-3 weeks after your session where you will view 30-40 edited images chosen by Cassie. A 1x 10% discount on your order will be active for that date only so be sure to bring the parents or anyone else who may want to get in on the order. A $200 minimum purchase after your initial discount is required. Your gallery will remain open for 14 days for any other orders or if you need more decision time. Minimum investment for the Senior experience is $475 with the average portrait client investing $800-$1800. I’m a proud provider of professional 100+ yr archival prints & wall art. Collections or A La Carte ordering is available. Payment plans are available. For more session information please check out the Digital magazine and or the session information tab on this website.

The Mini session is an option for H.S. Seniors as well. Please inquire with me for the details.

Upon booking your senior session you will receive via email the date and time of our pre-session consultation. Be sure to bring a parent or guardian. The consultation appointment is a quick meeting between myself the student and the parent to discuss locations, wardrobe ideas go over the workflow of a session, what to expect and the gallery viewing/ordering session and of course to view the many great professional archival products that can be ordered or custom created with your images. At this meeting if you have chosen to have hair and make up, you will meet with the make up artist as well.

Hair and make-up can be added and will be provided by professional stylist / make-up artist who will consult with you individually to be sure that your vision for your session is met.

A parent or legal guardian is required to fill out all paperwork if student is a minor. A parent, family member or friend is required to attend the session. I apologize but for everyones protection, I’m not able to provide transportation, perhaps a friend or parent can join us(maybe pop into a photo with you) who knows maybe I’ll even put them to work.

It is important to remember when considering your wardrobe to be true to yourself. Wardrobe choices must emailed to Cassie at least 7 business days prior to your session.

I will send your chosen image to yearbook be sure to provide the contact information for yearbook as well as the due date for your image to crgigsteadphoto@gmail.com

Sessions are held early am beginning shortly after sunrise or pm with a particular amount of hours given prior to sunset | be sure to communicate with Cassie if you wish to do some sunset/twilight photos so that all equipment/assistants are taken into consideration.
